Can Gambling affect your relationship?

[adzino]

Looks like you answered your own question... Of course it is going to affect a relationship IF you become addicted to gambling or if you start spending recklessly on gambling. There are people that starts lying, stealing, or becomes careless during their gambling habit. Those kind of people starts neglecting themselves and then eventually they start neglecting their families and friends which in the long run starts affecting their relationship with them. As long as you are gambling for fun, then it is fine. Don't overspend and make sure to keep your family first before gambling.\

I am also curious if it can affect any relationship if you just keep winning instead of losing.

Yeah, still it can affect your relation. Imagine gambling all day and not listening to anyone..

A gambler shouldn't be trusted with any public funds or hands over public offices as he may compromised the office. Usually a gambler is someone who is mentally unstable and unhealthy also unlikely to think wisely rather than profits making in every single bets that they places which is another problems we are all facing today. Whom ever that can control their gambling exercise can actually be reasonable although do not quotes me wrongly as their are responsible and educated gamblers who gambles either ones in a blue moon.

I don't know if some would disagree but I actually agree with you, gambler when they have the money on their hands, they have the mindset of using it in gambling which is really unhealthy, all of the money on them, there isn't a time that they would not to bet it in gambling. They really focused on winning and doesn't care if they lose everything on their hands like properties, relationships, family, unhealthy lifestyle and etc. Even if they won they would just come back for more which still results to losses. Gambler who managed and control themselves is really reasonable as they are not willingly to sacrifice everything they have just to bet it at gambling.

Yeah when we keep winning = we will consider it as an easy income and we will spend the money recklessly, it will change our life and our relations with the family, friends and other people.

However, keep winning everyday on gambling is like a myth so gamble wisely and do not gamble with your life/future.

If you have $500, you can gamble with $25. That is 5% of the money that you have or that you are earning. This has been what is helping me not to get addicted. Some people may have slightly lower percentage or higher percentage, but they must follow the rules and strategies they have on money management. If gambling more than that, it is becoming addiction. If you have a relationship, like girlfriend or wife, gambling can affect if you are not able to meet your financial needs but spending most on gambling.

For example, if your monthly salary as an employee is $500, 5% of that amount can be allocated to gambling if you can't stop yourself for a month. Because of this habit, I can say that you are at least a responsible gambler. But if you use $500 in the casino online, you obviously have an addiction, and that is not normal for an addicted gambler.

The fact that you don't have a gambling addiction and knowing that your husband doesn't like gambling can affect your relationship with your family; how much more if you have a gambling addiction? In addition to that, when you have an addiction, you can also not listen to your friends who are close to you who remind you of your gambling.

This communication breakdown can prevent couples, friends, and associates from working together.

A gambling addict will eventually have problems with family relationships, friends and co-workers. They were definitely the people he would turn to when he lost money gambling, and he would borrow money from them. Maybe at first they will be financially helpless, but when he asks for another debt even though the previous debt has not been paid off, it is likely that the people closest to him will start to distance themselves from him. The bad impact of gambling addiction is mounting debt, and most people avoid people who like debt because of the risk of default

This is true, when a person is into extreme gambling he/she never think about the money in hand. Whether it is theirs or others money is secondary. They just spend it and further on losing once again borrow or lend to compensate the fund to be settled to the person. I've experienced it, once I received fund from my friend who stays abroad and requested me to withdraw and give it to his family. What happened, I thought of gambling with it and make little money. My calculations went wrong and finally I borrowed from other friends to settle it. If not this could surely be leading to some problem between me and my friend. This is the hard reality and we should have self control and focus on our job to earn keeping aside gambling just for fun.

It is so sad that average people keep exeggarating gambling as life ending adventure. Obviously I did sports betting since I was 18 and my mum always hated it. She would always tell me to stop it. Most of traditional girls here completely against men that gamble. Its so sad because gambling is very enjoyable part of life. And not all people waste their life through it. I would tell my girlfriend that I use only portion of my income so she doesn't need to worry.

Like for example, the way you provide for your family is by gambling, it's like your source of income, it's all in gambling.
But overall for me, it's really not good that your priority is gambling instead of any of your relationships like family or friendship.

Gambling can have an adverse effect on relationships, but care must be taken to ensure that the time spent on gambling is not more than the time given to loved ones. For those who spend time gambling instead of girlfriends, it is not possible to maintain family relationships for long. There is no problem that you are constantly winning at gambling but the problem is that if you neglect your loved one then your relationship will definitely break up.

Yes, Gambling addiction has strained a lot of relationships through financial instabilities emotional turmoil, social isolation, and family problems. Gambling which was meant to be a popular kind of entertainment for many and was designed to provide a temporary escape from everyday life and also help one to be more observant mentally task your brain and it is also good for your mental brain. When it becomes an addiction it causes financial strain the strain can manifest in various ways including the loss of shared savings, debt accumulation, and financial secrecy which may lead to strained communication between partners. This communication breakdown can prevent couples, friends, and associates from working together.

It happens to gamblers who have no management in gambling. Using finances haphazardly and not limiting the allocation for gambling is confusing with the budget for daily needs. This usually happens to novice gamblers who don't know the risks of betting at all, they just play according to financial conditions that don't really guarantee it. Using hot money that should not exist for gambling allocation. In fact, they usually try to gamble in hopes of big multiples. In fact, I often find this phenomenon in the neighborhood where I live, a few days ago a woman came to my house to borrow money because her husband always took the allocation from the house for gambling. Meanwhile, providing for his children and wife is neglected and he has to borrow from other people.
Based on this case, I can conclude that gambling can disrupt household harmony if you don't have proper financial management or at least if you want to gamble, make sure your finances are stable and have a regular income.

[ethereumhunter]

Yes, it can make our relationships strained and it seems that some people have experienced this, especially those with partners where their partner finally finds out that they have often gambled and even spent a lot of money. That can cause tension between those who have problems and that is why openness is needed between partners so that no problems arise. Gambling addiction, apart from causing serious problems for the gambling addict, will also cause problems with the people around him, so this must be resolved immediately so that the relationship does not break down and cannot even be resolved. Gambling addicts must also immediately try to cure their gambling addiction so they can leave their gambling activities and return to their normal lives.

Gambling is one of the key problem relationships face. 

How exactly is gambling a key problem? Gambling can only affect a personal relationship when addiction falls in place. When we speck of addiction, some how to me it's when someone who consistently loose to the house keeps playing to the extend of stealing or loaning funds to gamble. This way he is becoming stress over something he isn't certain to have a possible result which might leave him somany bills and dept to pay. From this, I will say such person is becoming irresponsible and this might end up damaging his relationship not only with a spouse but also to his local area. On the other hand for someone who sometimes wins and losses, understand his limits and when to stop, I will call this a responsible gambler. And such person can maintain a health relationship.

Gambling is a key problem when is kept a secret from your partner.That in turns translates in many other problems incoming from this,like less dialogue and more stress,you get mad when your partner talks to you for anything as you cannot think about anything else except gambling.

For me personally my partner knows and she also keeps an eye on me by telling me to stop sometimes when I keep playing for long hours trying to hit that maximum pay line in my favorite slot machines.It all depends on the relationship between partners and gambling may or may be not a problem based on this.

Gambling addiction is a problem for some gamblers which causes various problems in their lives and also those around them. Addiction causes them to become more aggressive and unable to think rationally which covers their logic in thinking. Addiction is not a serious problem as long as the person is aware and willing to change, but it will be a problem if the person does not want to change and does not realize his mistake.
There have been several people I have met who are addicted to gambling and most of them are not aware of their mistakes and feel that what they are doing is not a problem for other people, honestly I really feel sorry for the people around them because they have to live with people like that .

[Jawhead999]

@OP you're asking about gambling in general, but you're talking about gambling addiction effect, both of them are different!

Imagine there are two people live in a same country where the monthly expenditure cost around $300 to survive.

The first person only earn $500 per month, he has $200 idle money, he's a gambler and he only spend maximum $50 per month, of course there's no problem.

While the second person earn $50,000, he has $49,700 idle money, he's a gambler and he always spend all of his money in order to get jackpot, he don't mind to borrow money to gamble more.

Which one has a gambling problem? the key is self control and gamble for fun.

[hopenotlate]

Yes of course gambling can have a significant impact on relationships and most likely , except for few lucky exceptions, in a negative manner under many different aspects of your life : it can bring financial issues when you cannot keep to a proper bankroll management, it often involves wasting valuable time in gambling habits , in worst cases up to isolation, it often leads you to lie to hide your habits or to deny that the time and/or money that is taken away from the activities that really matter in real life is dedicated to gambling, and also what is no less negligible the influence on your mood that it might cause.

So better being a recreational player that spend few time and resources on gambling rather then relying on it for your real life needs.

How i wish that i do have a partner like yours on which it do really allows you to play gambling without having those financial issues or possible quarrels or argumentation basing up on the amount that you are using on your gameplay because in my part even just simply wasting up that $10 on gambling would really be resulting into a whole day kind of quarrel or being that disappointed on what i have done. This is why it would really be better for it to be keep on secret as long you dont give her that lacking amount of your salary then there's no questions asked as long it would be complete. 
 So far i dont have problems when it comes to my gambling game or session because the money spent is really just that an extra amount which i do able to earn here on crypto space.
I do never ever make my day job salary would really be reduced or would really be deducted because that would really be a long long story for me to explain on where those
funds go and this is something that i dont like to happen.

I have seen friends, relationships and couples break up and divorce because of gambling. Gambling is something that gradually eating up people's financially. When you start at the beginning it will do as if it will not do you anything, but as you progress it will eat you up. When you start with small amount of money to place a bet and you win small amount so that will motivate you to increase the bet and probably you win that bet you increase again and lost the bet then you will be determined to win back the lost game there the whole thing burst out and you will be lure to be a perpetual gambler and you can't come again and your determination to win back your lost games led to the addiction of gambling and that cause the breaking down of financial security. You will be in the casino site or hall with the little amount you have so friends and family members would have quarrel with you always and before you know relationship has been scattered. Anyone who rely on gambling to survive must have problem with close friends.

Of course it can affect your relationship to anyone since  you became in denial of everything as well it can affect your lifestyle and financial capacity. This is one of the root cause on why there are broken family especially if the affected adult mishandled their fortune. Hopefully we will not go in this situation so new gamblers should see the bad effect of expecting to much on gambling and make it as a full time habit since this could ruin their life.

[Majestic-milf]

 Gambling can only affect my relationship when I don't have a control on my gambling habits. The art of gambling is a risky something and it's more dangerous when one allows himself to be addicted. Just like @Oshosondy mentioned, you play with an amount that can be easily parted away with, anf for such to happen, you'd need to have control because if there's a deficiency in control you can easily touch the remaining $475, after all you have the belief that you can get it back.
 Some have said it's frustration over current situation or some issues in the home that pushed them to find solace in gambling but just like every other bad vice can affect relationships, gambling is also part of them.

[xSkylarx]

I got confused on the thread. I thought you'd asked a question but you've provided your view and not asked a question.

It affects you in all aspects once you get addicted and are not able to control yourself because you don't have time for your partner or family because you are more focused on gambling you've always had no money to spend for your family's needs and worse you've got a lot of debt because of gambling. But if you're not addicted then I don't see any reason that can affect your relationship unless you've prioritized it over your family but that is also a sign of addiction.
